Book Description

John Sheppard lived in Maryland probably by the late 1600s. He may have been the son of John Sheppard and grandson of Robert Sheapheard (ca. 1645-1686) of the Barbados. His grandson, John Sheppard (1737-1827), son of John Sheppard (b. ca. 1700) was probably born at Fredericktown, Cecil County, Maryland. He married Mary Ann Hudson, ca. 1773. They had twelve children, 1775-1804, all born in Fredericktown. The family migrated to Belmont County, Ohio, in 1812. Descendants lived in Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Missosuri, Nebraska, Colorado, California and elsewhere.
